all labs

Everyone is always asking about how healthy a Low Carb Diet is.

This is my 7th year on Low Carb.

I am 55 years old. Female.

BP = 110/68

Pulse = 72 regular

I tried to get labs every year.

The first labs (2010) were done at a company t

That didn't give me printed results yet.

I am not worried about the Total Cholesterol 

Because the HDL is soon very high!

You can see my Metabolic Panels are very consistent.

This is a graph of my Cholesterol Profile.

Notice the generally downward direction!

 

So yes. Here's me - after going on Low Carb, then losing 

AND keeping off over 80 pounds weight loss loss

Does Low Carb work? YES, IT DOES!

Is Low Carb Healthy? YES, IT IS!

Here's to 7 more years ...

And 7 more and 7 more (etc) after that!

labs 2016

LDL about the same....

HDL down a little... 

I suspected this after my injury, 

Since HDL is protective....

Also, I suspected that all the inflammation 

With my broken leg - would bring down the HDL.

And I was right!

Triglycerides up a little...

Also suspected this since I went up in carbs...

For the Protein -Sparing effect they have

(I went up to about 60 a day)

That was sure to follow

The Ratios. Always good to know.

It says the Total Cholesterol is high,

Just because of the high HDL. So no worries. 

Total Cholesterol is HDL + LDL + 20% of the Triglycerides.

Non HDL is Total Chol minus HDL.

It should be greater than the LDL.

Many thanks to Direct Labs (link)

And NO I don't get any money from them.

I just like that you can get labs done there.

I usually like LabCorp.

Today I used Quest. And I liked it!

Overall a very good experience!

Back to school means that these books are 50 cents... 

So I see this truck... the back doors were open and swinging... 

The driver had NO IDEA he was losing his load...

I tired to tell him, but he sped up more and more...

That's the way the money goes -

POP goes the weasel... I guess...

A simple low carb deli lunch....

A couple of slices of ham and cheese!

I am not a sponsor and I have no affiliation with Atkins...

The company... BUT I do like Whey Protein

And this Atkins drink "LIFT" seems to fit the bill...

20 g protein and 1 g carb... Ready To Drink... Whey.

This is not creamy like Choc, Strawberry, or Vanilla.

This is Orange and they have Lemonade and Pink Lemonade.

Check Amazon.
